Cell cycle‐related and expression‐elevated protein in tumor (CREPT) overexpression predicts poor prognosis of patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer. A,B, Patients with lower CREPT expression levels showed better overall survival (P = .01) (A) and better recurrence‐free survival (P = .006) (B). C,D, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of adenocarcinoma patients (P = .30) (C) and squamous cell carcinoma patients (P = .03) (D), stratified by CREPT expression level. E,F, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of pTNM I/II patients (P = .588) (E) and pTNM III/IV patients (P = .005) (F), stratified by CREPT expression level. (G,H) Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of lymph node‐negative patients (P = .01) (G) and lymph node‐positive patients (P = .03) (H), stratified by CREPT expression level. I,J, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of patients with small tumor (diameter ≤5 cm, P = .70) (I) and large tumor (diameter >5 cm, P = .002) (J), stratified by CREPT expression level
